Jessica Cries After Performing Song About Nick

She fought back the tears on stage, but moments after Jessica Simpson rocked the "CBS Early Show" with a song that was once an anthem for her relationship with Nick Lachey, the emotions apparently became overwhelming.

Audience members probably didn't expect Simpson to belt out her 2004 hit "With You," but she did. The most shocking moment, however, came minutes after she finished her performance. Jessica can be seen shaking and crying, as her BFF/hairdresser Ken Paves attempts to console her. Was it the song's subject or was her throat hurting?

Either way, "With You," which was released during the peak of "Newlyweds" fame, featured a music video that attempted to parallel the hit show. In it, Nick and Jessica can be seen playing around in their mansion, and making light of the shows most memorable moments (i.e. Jessica's infamous Chicken of the Sea moment).

She's only crying because of the strain of her voice. She is upset that she can't sing up to snuff.

SICK IGNORANCE:  1987 days ago

If it was true that she cried thinking about Nick. It is really sad. For what ever reason this couple parted ways. I'm sure there is still feelings between them. You just can't stop your feelings for some one that fast. That goes for both of them. But she didn't want Nick. And since he has gone on with his life maybe she has second thoughts now that he has found someone else. It really is sad if her father had something to do with it. Or that he wasn't doing anything and she was doing good. Look at Nick now. Sorry Jessica you should have thought this thru more. Life is pretty lonely in hollywood. Money or no Money. Can you really trust someone else?

Reality Check:  1987 days ago

Wow, what a great group of people to have around in case of a personal crisis. Regardless of whether or not you like Jessica Simpson or Nick Lachey, the fact remains she did just get divorced. Even if she was the one who wanted the divorce, it still marked the end of a relationship they seemed to believe would last forever. If you hate her that much, maybe you should enjoy this in solitude. If you are convinced this was a publicity stunt....well, it got you talking on here, didn't it? I guess it must've worked.

She is a total faker! She has gotten so much bad press because of her break up. Nick’s heart ache sold records. She is just trying not to look like the villain! And why would she sing that song? She is promoting a new album!

She sang the song last week on the Today show with no emotion. I think she felt bad that her throat was hurting her. She needs a vacation - from the spotlight.

I really liked her when she first came out. Her album is horrible. Nothing different. Too much production on it.

Angie, if we are losers for analyzing her, you're an even bigger loser for critiquing our analysis. Obviously you care or you wouldn't be reading the story or the comments. LOSER.

KOODO'S TO #8
My thoughts exactly
If it bothers her so bad (which I doubt) then why even sing it if she has new music to sing!!!
The DIZZY BLONDE kicks her husband and marriage to the curb and then wants to cry about it after Nick has no other choice but to go on with his life

Like I said before:

GET OVER IT JESSICA

MichelleK:  1987 days ago

Well, she's just being kicked in the ass by her own bad judgment.

She wanted the divorce, she got it. Did she think it was going to be all rosy and great?

More importantly, whose idiot idea was it for her to sing a song from her OLD ALBUM that clearly was about her ex-husband? Really, incredibly BAD IDEA!!!!
